Name Tattoos are a Good Way to Engage in Regret

Its official, you are engaged to be married to the love of your life.  The thought of ever loving another person so unimaginable that to celebrate this memorable occasion you get each other’s name tattooed over your hearts. 

Engagement tattoos; a clever and seemingly ideal way of expressing deep, everlasting, and forever love for one another.  Ideal that is until the beloved day spent in court feuding over a messy divorce.

Now, a truly clever tattoo idea would be a mental note etched in the brain as a reminder that “Things happen, life happens, and tattoos happen to be permanent, unless removed.  Additionally, and worth noting– tattoo removal is not easy.

Regardless of the many options available to fade away tattoo regret, when it comes to engagement and tattoos there are a few rules that are wise to consider.

Name Tattoos Ain't Smart!
Tattooing another person’s name on one’s body, especially a significant other’s name, is simply a bad idea that leads to regret.

Fortunately for everyone, there is something called tattoo removal to wipe the old slate clean of tattoo skin that’s become rumpled with age.  And for anyone considering a tattoo today, but wondering if age will really be something that later causes tattoo regret, here are a few things to consider.

Tattoo on areas of the body where skin wrinkles with age, will be a wrinkled tattoo.  The loss of hydration and natural moisture in the skin as it ages also affects the coloration and lines of the design, so many tattoo artists suggest making tattoos a little larger than originally planned to help compensate for the shrinkage.
